Neck Lift Surgery
HOW IS A NECK LIFT PERFORMED?
A neck lift is performed by creating a small incision around each ear, and in some cases, a third one underneath the chin. Once the incisions are placed, the tissues beneath the skin are repositioned, and the excess skin is removed. The result is a smoother, firmer, younger-looking neck.
IS A NECK LIFT RIGHT FOR ME?
The neck is often one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging. Dr. Sedgh’s neck lift surgery is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance by addressing issues such as:
- Sagging skin and muscle laxity: Loose skin and muscle banding along the neck can lead to an aged appearance.
- Excess neck and chin fat: Often resulting in the appearance of a double chin, even in those who are otherwise fit.
- Weak jawline definition: A well-contoured jawline enhances facial aesthetics and overall profile.
With a neck lift by Dr. Sedgh, patients can achieve a smoother, slimmer, and more youthful appearance, reducing common concerns and refreshing their look.

OUR PRACTICE
The Neck Lift Procedure: Precision for Natural Results
Dr. Sedgh’s neck lift procedure is an outpatient surgery, performed under local or general anesthesia based on each patient’s needs. There are two common approaches: the limited incision and the traditional neck lift.
- Incisions: Carefully placed incisions around the ear or under the chin, depending on the plan discussed.
- Tissue Repositioning: Dr. Sedgh repositions the underlying tissues, trims excess skin, and tightens muscle if necessary to create a firmer, youthful appearance.
- Fat Removal and Contouring: In cases where excess fat is present, Dr. Sedgh may utilize liposuction to further contour the neck and jawline, enhancing the overall result.
Throughout the procedure, Dr. Sedgh’s artistry and precision ensure a natural outcome with minimal visible scarring. The entire surgery typically takes two to four hours, depending on the patient’s specific needs and whether other complementary procedures are included.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY FROM A NECK LIFT?
Following the procedure, a bandage will be carefully placed around your face and neck to help minimize swelling and bruising. Drainage tubes may also be installed to reduce excess fluid buildup. Dr. Sedgh will give you specific aftercare instructions and prescribe certain medications to facilitate proper healing of the surgical site, prevent infection, and help manage any side effects. The typical downtime for neck lift surgery is 10 to 14 days. After this period, most of the pain, discomfort, and swelling should dissipate.
